Fish Collagen - 1

Collagen is an important protein that exists ubiquitously in the body. It is naturally contained in high amounts in the skin, bone, joint cartilage, blood vessels, tendons and teeth. It occupies one third of the total body protein maintaining youthfulness, health and beauty.

Fish Collagen Peptide is an enzymatically decomposed product consisting of small peptide molecules. This mean molecular weight of fish collagen peptide is around 1000 DAL. Such small molecular weight can be 100% absorbed by the human body. Our products feature easy absorption, low ash ingredient and low heavy metal content.

In everyting that we do, we always make sure that safety comes first. Compared to collagen from cattle or pigs, fish collagen is considered equally safe. Since Bovine Spongiform Encepalopathy (BSE) has become a concern, fish collagen peptides extracted from fish have been attracting attention as an alternative to livestock-based collagen peptides.

The microorganism control of collagen peptide has been a difficult problem during the production and packing. In order to get short-term benefit and save the investment or due to technological reasons, most of the producers take the shortcuts, for example, to add chemical agents, drugs into the product or sterilize it by radiation, to reach the requested standards for controlling microorganism.

A direct consequence of such methods is the increased risk of pollution from the product, which should be healthy and without any pollution. Also, few producers perhaps have to adopt sterilization by high temperature, but it affects the color of collagen greatly and causes a yellow, yellowish or yellowish brown color. This is a big problem which is unable to be solved by many producers.
